“They are not big enough for the moment.”
Read that headline again. “They are not big enough for the moment.” Tonight on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked Peggy Noonan what she thought of McCain and Palin’s negative tactics against Obama given the real problems facing our country. Peggy Noonan’s answer… “They are not big enough for the moment.” Truer words have never been spoken.
McCain’s healthcare plan, take III – Cut Medicare/Medicaid
The New Republic has the story – or rather stories. The three faces phases of McCain’s healthcare proposal. Take I: First McCain said he would elimine the entire tax deduction for health insurance, in order to pay for his new tax credit. This would have paid for itself, but it would have done so by […]
Mavericky
Maverick count: Palin 6, Biden 9 Here’s Biden’s mention of maverick: Look, the maverick — let’s talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He’s been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people’s lives. He voted four out of five […]
Will the Vice Presidential Debate be dumbed down?
Serious question for serious times. We simply do not have time for Sarah “six pack” Palin to complete finishing school. And speaking of questions… Any ideas of what Ifill will ask? And how Palin will answer?
Don’t Vote
Not Safe For Work or at least wear headphones unless your company likes the F-bomb coming out of your speakers.
IT EXISTS!
And it’s worse than I imagined. Warning: This is mind numbingly painful to watch. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRuBdW0yBUY[/youtube] Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m feeling better about tomorrow night. This woman is an idiot.
Updated: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
John McCain may suspend his campaign again! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsKfMuENxhY[/youtube] I am so over this nonsense. Hey, maybe if McCain suspends Newt will step in. Seems he’s already messing around behind the scenes. So much for blaming Pelosi. UPDATE: For those of you who’ve forgotten how McCain ended up in this suspension situation again… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7AagvQA7lc[/youtube] (Via […]
Another Tragicomedy
If I didn’t know better this looks like Humbert Humbert and Dolores Haze thirty years later.
Could the bar be set any lower?
Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions. One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster. On the other hand, so does everyone else. So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there? […]
Americans See McCain as Negative Candidate
From Ambinder who reports on a CBS/NYT poll asking registered voters how they perceive the candidate spending their campaign time: Meaning that McCain has been undermining his own pledges to run a positive and respectful campaign. The obvious question, though, is what do voters buy?
Updated — Snap Polls and Focus Groups!
TNR No real data reported, but this noted that the Luntz/Greenberg focus group went overwhelmingly for Obama. Think Progress (go look at the video!): Fox pollster Frank Luntz’s focus group showed that a majority was “moved” by Obama’s performance. They especially liked his answer pointing out that McCain was “wrong” on nearly every aspect of […]
